Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court acquitted the defendant of criminal negligence but ordered him to pay 6,000 PLN in compensation to the victim. While the defendant steered the boat at high speed, the court found that the accident was primarily caused by the other driver's failure to maneuver, yet the defendant contributed to the collision. Consequently, the court rejected the full civil claim but acknowledged the defendant's partial liability for the victim's severe arm injuries.
